Micro burner is the fundamental element of a micro energy power system. The performance, output power, and efficiency of the system are directly involved by the combustion stability, efficiency, and temperature distribution of the exterior wall. Owing to the small combustion space of the micro burner and the resident short time of the premixed fuel/air, the fuel is difficult to burn completely, resulting in poor burning efficiency and flame stability. Therefore, the study of micro burner technology is the focus of current research to improve combustion performance. This article introduces the micro power system, micro combustion technology, and combustion status and characteristics, focusing on four kinds of micro combustion technology. The purpose is tantamount to fully understand the current status of micro combustion technology and compare the characteristics of different combustion technologies. For improving output power and efficiency of the power system, the combustion stability and performance are enhanced, which provides theoretical support for the effective realization of micro scale combustion and application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
